The witch doctor, there's a story behind...

I was curios about the witchdoctor story after whatever John and Lyn told us this afternoon.
After research in Google, found out that the story behind witchdoctor was bit frightening.

Lyn stories begins :
There was a 34 years old gentleman from Aboriginal background with heart problems. His BP, P, T was totally fine and Lyn found no signs & symptoms of death on him. Lyn questioned him if he is sleeping well at night because he appeared to be pale and fatigue, Lyn advised him to get some sleep, but he just couldn't sleep and apparently he refused sleeping pill. He said there is someone pointing at me and somehow gave him a warning that he's going to die soon. Lyn felt hard to believe in his 'nonsense' story. Before Lyn leave the room, he ask: "Nurse, could you please switch off all the lights in my room and the ones in the corridor, that'll be good. And please shut all doors."
Lyn was ASSUMING he can't fall asleep because of the lights. So she obeyed his commands. As she leave his isolated room, she could feel a sudden of cold and shadowy behind her back!!! Lyn didn't thought much but to leave the room as quick as possible.
At 5 o clock, time for observation. She entered the men's room. It was dark and quite. Lyn silently approach him and observed his temperature under his axila (armpit). 34 degree, it was 38 before this. She didn't realize that he pass away.


Back to witch doctor story.
It's the aboriginal bone pointing.
In Australia, if a person was point, means he is likely to die.
It was prove through some practice. For example, through the bone pointing (sometimes called singing someone) which was believed to death.
Of course no magic occurs, but it's just people's belief he would die through superstition or imagination.
The pointing weapon can be made bone, wood, or stone. Belief in its magic is what counts.
The person perform the pointing must have absolute confidence, the victim must have a large believe that his magic is unassailable.

Believe or not to believe,
but no criticize,
this is the Aboriginal belief!
